A brief description of the sustainability trainings and professional development opportunities available to staff :

The Professional Development Institute provides seminars and training sessions throughout the year. In 2009 and 2010 there were seminars on; "Our footprint and the path to zero" (the staff/faculty role in the path to carbon neutrality), "Greening Your Office," "Urban and Office Gardening," "Sustainability in Healthcare," and "the Live Green Community: Using Service Learning to introduce students to natural resources." There are extensive opportunities for diversity training, wellness programs, and other opportunities that fall within the greater definition of sustainability.
